This is Billie's costume for the Halloween Floof costume contest. Scotchy's Mommy, Kelly did the hat and wig on computer so I wouldn't have to annoy poor Billie with attempting to put anything on her.
I wish my kitties liked to wear "fashions" like Daisy. Her Mommie must have so much fun and Daisy really does look like she's enjoying it too!
I told Billie she looks like Samantha from my favorite old tv show Bewitched.
She just wanted to know if there were enough Party Mix Treats for Halloween. Yes, there are, but can all 4 kitties wait until tomorrow?
I'm trying to get a new spooky picture of Cricket, but so far all I get is pouting. I may have to bribe her. I think she's upset because my daughter's friends have been popping in all week for various Halloween activities. Last night they went to a zombie "zomb". They shot zombies with Nerf guns.
The night before the museum had a costume party swing dance and it was only $3.00 to get in. Tonight there is a zombie walk downtown. Whew! I wish I had the energy of a teenager. Tomorrow night is a dance at school. So, the kids will meet here and gather, and then leave for their fun. Cricket hates to have HER home invaded with people who are not HER family.
It is still rather chilly here. Brr! I have been battling flares and my joints hurt so much! I'm walking like a zombie! Last night was the second night in a row that I have had a fever. I don't have time for this! I have been managing to avoid making dinner, which is nice. (for me anyway) Frozen meals are so convenient. Husband grumbles, but hopefully he'll get over it. (that or dare I hope he will plan meals and go grocery shopping?) :)
Billie is still eating better. Not huge amounts, but she is tiny. Grooming her hip area is still a challenge, but I resorted to cutting out a knot a few days ago and she seemed to appreciate it. Her fur is soft and the dry air is making it staticky and fly away. The fatty tumor growth has not changed. (I hate the word tumor.) So, all in all she is hanging in there better than I had thought she would be a few weeks ago. I was really preparing for the worst and just so afraid... Thank You All for all of your Purrs and Prayers and Good Wishes.
All of that good energy going out worked and I hope it returns to You All in abundance!
I hope everyone is ready for Halloween! We have Hershey Bars, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, and Kit Kat Bars. What do you plan on passing out?
Hugs!

and all the while this curious cat
Lies crouching on the Chinese mat
With eyes of satin rimmed with gold

Cody is waiting for trick or treaters, well, practicing waiting anyway.
Usually on Halloween night he is hiding in the house nice and safe away from all of those scary kids and their stomping feet.
He doesn't like Halloween because of all the loud children, doesn't like the 4th of July because of the booming fireworks and he hates garbage trucks and thunderstorms. I guess Cody is the true definition of "scaredy cat."
He's just so sweet and mild mannered though. A true gentlemancat. :)
It's very cold here. Billie has been snoozing all day in the bathroom. I think if there were room for a cot I would join her! It's cozy warm in there.
I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
Hugs!
Dear Ninja had to be helped to the Bridge. The cancer in her lungs affected her esophagus and affected her breathing and swallowing terribly. Her Mommy, Brenda just didn't want her to suffer anymore. Many of us have sadly been there...You can leave condolences at the Cat Blogosphere Blog if you would like. Brenda seems like a really nice lady and I'm sad that we didn't really get to know Ninja. She is happy and safe now with all of our fur babies who have gone before. Say hi to Pixie and Tookie sweet kitty.
Ninja and her Mommy Brenda live in Canada. I learned about her after she left a comment and I followed up on the cat blogosphere blog. They do not have a blog, but Mommy Brenda has been posting updates at the CBB.
Today Ninja is going to the Vet to find out what is making her so sick. If it is cancer, Mommy Brenda will help her to the Rainbow Bridge. I pray that it is not.
Brenda says that Ninja is her heart. They sleep together every night. This just breaks my heart. I know exactly what she is going through.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Love and Hugs <3

The idea of privacy in the bathroom is lost on cats. Now, Billie will just patiently wait while I lay down a soft towel for her to nap on. Toeshee however loves sinks. He will happily curl up, oblivious to the fact that I want to brush my teeth. Then, because he is just so cute I will then patiently wait until he is done. :)
Wait until I show you the pics of him in the kitchen sink! :0
Happy Tuesday!
Cricket didn't want to wear the teddy bear witch hat either. :) She had fun playing with it though!
